Question

A basket contains 40 mangoes out of which 22 are good . Find the percentage of the mangoes that are bad​

Answer 1

45% of the mangoes are bad.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of mangoes in basket = 40

Number of good mangoes = 22

Number of bad mangoes = Total mangoes - Good mangoes

Number of bad mangoes = 40-22

Number of bad mangoes = 18

Percent of bad mangoes =
`(bad\ mangoes)/(total\ mangoes)*100`

Percent of bad mangoes =
`(18)/(40)*100`

Percent of bad mangoes = 0.45*100 = 45%

Hence,

45% of the mangoes are bad.
